Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and emotional bonds formed in relationships. It helps people understand how early attachment experiences influence current relationship dynamics and supports building healthier ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's genuine empathy and nonjudgmental support, giving clients space to explore their feelings and discover their own solutions; this approach is often helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that examines links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches strategies to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and cope with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Allen works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. The chosen plan can blend elements from different approaches to address complex or overlapping concerns.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support, adapt session styles to client preferences, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
